Process Labels for Improved Process Tracking
Process labels are being introduced in Erlang to allow for the creation of non-unique labels for processes, which can enhance the visibility of process trees in tools like Observer and Crash Report. These labels can provide information on the purpose or function of each process, even for worker processes without registered names, enabling better process tracking and identification.
